Good afternoon, I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia for about 5 years now after about trying to find out what was wrong with me and seeing many specialists for about 5 years earlier. I was seeing a Rheumatoid specialist for about the past 5 years who insisted I had Fibromyalgia. I m an RN and did not like the stigma that this diagnosis has and argued to the end about it. Anyway he stopped practicing. I do not take narcotics but do take controlled substances throughout the day. My PCP, who I worked with and have known for at least 10 years has been filling my scrips however is refusing to continue to do this so I started looking for another Rheumatoid MD. I have been unsuccessful. I was told that these MD s no longer deal with patients with a Fibromyalgia diagnosis and that I need to find a Neurologist. I am now having a problem trying to find a Neurologist in the Enfield, CT area . I am running out of medication, which I have been on for years, except, I began falling asleep at the wheel, wrecked my car and then at work lost my job when I would sit at the computer to work on my documentation. My son was able to have five children walk by me sleeping on the couch at 11:30 pm and they took my car and recently totaled it. I never heard one child walk by me while they were in the house. I had stopped taking the Ritalin because I was scared I would run out and this happened. I was placed on Ritalin 20 mg QID which has worked but my PCP feels that I m taking too many medications. I ve been taking them forever, I still have pain but when it is overwhelming I take Motrin. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn t. If I don t take the medication the headaches are unbearable. I am aware of the time of day it is if I forgot to take them. I have tried many different medications until we were able to regulate the pain to the point that I could at least function throughout the day. At first I wasn t able to sleep but now it s so bad that if I sit I easily fall asleep and my children can only wake me if they hold my nose and mouth shut. I m scared of running out and having to go through the DT s again. I m also scared because I know that if I don t take them the headaches are relentless. I ve tried on two occasions to not take them and am not able to make it through the day. I need assistance finding someone to help me. Thank you in advance, Barbara YYYY@YYYY
